Checking In
No news really. I've been tolerating the 200mg bump on the Gleevec fine. I've actually been less tired than before, but I've also stopped taking the Allopurinol (for gout prevention) which like any drug has it's own host of side effects. I'm definitely a supporter of taking the least amount of medication. Before CML came around, I wouldn't even take Tylenol. The only medication I'm on right now is Gleevec.
My Relay For Life team held it's annual Mardis Gras party this past weekend. It went really well! I can definitely see this event getting bigger and bigger each year. We had an awesome band, a seafood boil, and a smathering of alcoholic beverages available for a nominal fee. Of course I was the bartender. I'm not sure yet on the final amount raised, but I think we really raked it in. Thanks to everyone (and you know who you are) that kept my beverage sales flowing literally and figuratively.
A pine cone and a cell phone is all a little lady needs these days...
